      LOL I hate drag queens

      but I like how when she sprays the perfume it goes all cloudy and sparkly haa and that dress is low cut

      I think she is like Cher – a lot of drag queens like her.

    Tacky.Chintzy.From the commercial to the bottle to the scent probably.
    I do like Christina though, she at least can sing.
    But no, this doesn’t interest me.

      It’s pretty bad. And much worse than her ads for the first one & “By Night”.

        I thought the first advert for the first one was clever.
        where she takes her dress off and sprays the perfume on herself and the pattern of the packaging covered her.

        it had the pull quote: “sometimes it’s all you need to wear” 🙂

    … um, excuse me, I was laughing hysterically…

    I love Xtina’s voice. I do not love her music. I didn’t like Inspire. (I should have, white floral ho that I am.)

    So… you spray this on your (surgically enhanced?) cleavage, and it sparkles and magically gives you big jewelry? Is this Xtina Does Disney Princess? Arrgh.

    I mean, I’d probably *take* the bling. But as far as I’m concerned, and taken without consideration of the fragrance OR the celebrity involved, this is a colossally stupid ad that makes me wonder about the IQ level of its producers.

    (Ooooh, snarky today.)

    Cool! Spray on jewelry. What happens when you need a touch up? Earrings?

    For a second I thought she was morphing into Dolly Parton and I thought “this could be awesome” . . . but then Christina misted her magic perfume bottle and went all Liz Taylor. And it still wasn’t fun.

    I don’t get it. Why is it “Royal” Desire? What about Christina Aguilera makes anyone think of her as royalty? Besides the drag queen thing, which I don’t think was what they were going, not intentionally anyway. That video belongs on the website Everything is Terrible! I do believe that one is worse than Britney’s latest perfume ad.
